PNB Chapter 319 The Small Tribe's Gratitude
Chapter 319 The Small Tribe's Gratitude
Xun Su looked up at her father in surprise, carefully observing his expression. "Father, you're not joking, are you?"
Xun Su never imagined that the reindeer tribe would submit to any tribe.
After all, managing a subordinate small tribe isn't easy these days.
Xunliang sighed and forced a smile. Before he could say anything, the voice of a warrior from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly came from outside the door, "Chief Xunliang, our general requests that you and Captain Itachi come over."
Xunliang had no choice but to give up for now. He ruffled Xunsu's hair and said, "Let's go. You and your father can go together." He also had his own ulterior motives, wanting Xunsu to make an appearance in front of everyone in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Xun Su nodded obediently.
Not long after, Ma Yuan stood outside the central tent and said, "General, the chieftains of each tribe have all found their people."
Wolf Cang got up from the orc's arms and went out with Lin Baiyan. In front of the other orcs, he was once again the dignified and upright general of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
By this time, Junra and Itachi had already arrived outside the central tent.
At the forefront, Niu Run, the chieftain of the Horned Bull tribe, clenched his right fist and placed it over his heart, looking gratefully at the male orc in front of him. "Great Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, thank you for eliminating the despicable Super Xiong tribe for the north, allowing us small tribes to catch our breath."
Lang Cang raised his hand, "Chief Niu Run, there's no need to be so polite. The Chaoxiong tribe has committed numerous evils. Even if it weren't for the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, other tribes would have come to eliminate them."
Niu Run looked up at the two young orcs in front of him with a sense of emotion. What they couldn't do in half their lives, Lang Cang had accomplished so easily, saving many small tribes from dire straits.
These two orcs are said to be a city lord and a high priest, respectively, and are truly extraordinary young men!
Standing beside Lang Cang, Lin Baiyan felt the Epiphyllum mark on his right wrist seemed to be slightly warm. He quietly looked down and saw that the mark had indeed become more solid.
"We don't know where the territory of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is. If we have the opportunity, we will go there to express our gratitude."
Wolf Cang frowned, about to refuse, since the location of each tribe's territory was a rather private matter, and usually only the orcs of that tribe or very close tribes knew the exact location of a tribe.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Baiyan nudged his waist from behind. These small tribes seemed genuinely grateful to them; otherwise, he wouldn't have received so much faith power.
Wolf Cang was poked and looked down at his little companion. Lin Baiyan winked at him, and Wolf Cang suddenly remembered the trade exchanges that the sub-beastmen often talked about.
Furthermore, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is not afraid of visits from other tribes. The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. To take down this tough nut, it would take at least several decades of painful and devastating damage.
The two people are completely on different wavelengths, yet they manage to communicate without any barriers.
Lang Cang changed the subject, cleared his throat, and said, "Ten Thousand Beasts City is further north from here. If you travel northeast, it will take about thirty sunsets to reach the edge of our territory."
Each tribe's territory is patrolled regularly, and the City of Beasts sets the patrol time at once a month, for about ten days each time.
This ensures that they can detect any foreign orcs entering their territory in a timely manner.
Niu Run carefully noted down Lang Cang's words, then waved his hand, and the beastmen behind him presented him with a lot of supplies.
"What are you doing?"
Niu Run scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "We weren't much of a help. This is a thank you gift to the Beast City, the Reindeer Tribe, and the Weasel Tribe for helping to rescue our people."
"These are all cobbled together by our tribes. They're nothing special, but they're useful in ordinary times. I hope you won't find them lacking."
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "Clan Chief Niu Run, you're too kind."
"However, we cannot accept these. Rescuing your people was merely a side benefit, and besides..."
Lin Baiyan looked at the prey and supplies and could tell that these tribes had brought out their best, but the dilapidated state of the place was still undeniable. It seemed that the small tribes in the vicinity had been struggling to survive under the oppression of the Chaoxiong tribe over the years.
The gentle one said with a smile, "Yes, we're not after your supplies."
Niu Run suddenly became anxious, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything. It was Tu Jing, the chieftain of the Snow Rabbit tribe, who spoke up, "We know this isn't anything good, but it's just a token of our tribe's sincerity. We are truly grateful to you!"
“That’s right, that’s right!” With Tu Jing’s help, Niu Run nodded repeatedly, and the other clan leaders echoed him.
Lang Cang glanced at Lin Baiyan, who nodded helplessly. Lang Cang then waved his hand, and soldiers immediately took their supplies.
Lin Baiyan looked at these beastmen with their sincere faces and felt a slight stirring in his heart.
He reached into his animal skin bag and pulled out potatoes and sweet potatoes, handing them to Niu Run. "Chief Niu Run, did you see these two plants when you were gathering them?"
Niu Run took the items and carefully examined them. "This..."
Suddenly, a thought struck him. He pointed at the potato and said, "I know! I've seen this kind of poisonous fruit on the mountain before. You can't eat it!"
“I think I’ve seen this before,” the chief of the Red Horse tribe said, pointing to the sweet potato.
Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang exchanged a glance, and then Lang Cang looked at them seriously: "Both of these plants are edible. They grow in very simple environments and are easy to feed on."
"Food is scarce now, so you can look for it near your own territory. That will give you another source of food."
"As for this potato, it must be roasted or boiled before eating. The potatoes you ate before were probably raw or had already sprouted, which is why you got poisoned," Lin Baiyan added, pointing to the potato.
Lin Baiyan, fearing they wouldn't believe him, reached into Lang Cang's arms, pulled out a roasted sweet potato, took a bite, and mumbled, "This sweet potato is sweet; the cubs will definitely love it!"
Upon hearing their words, Niu Run's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the two orcs in front of him. How could they just casually utter such an important matter!
You must understand that in this orcish continent where food is scarce, every known edible food item is firmly held in the hands of each tribe, for fear that other tribes will find out and take it from them.
They were simply expressing their gratitude according to their own wishes, but they never expected to receive such a big surprise in return!
"Thank you, thank you, High Priest!"
Niu Run and the tribal chiefs behind him were so excited they didn't know what to say. Everyone stared intently at the plant in Niu Run's hand, as if trying to etch it into their minds.
Unconsciously, another force surged towards Lin Baiyan's wrist.
Lin Baiyan: "..."
The power of faith is so easy to collect today!
